Struggling With Meditation? Try This Instead. - S2E30

Rupert Spira describes meditation as the “softening of attention.” I love this way of looking at meditation because it points to something very simple and very practical.

When our attention becomes sharply focused on a thought or an emotion, we get completely pulled into it. If we are feeling anger, fear, or anxiety, our whole experience can become consumed by that one feeling.

But when we soften our attention, something interesting happens. We create a little space. We are able to step back and observe the thought or emotion instead of being overwhelmed by it.

In this episode, I explore this idea of softening attention and share a simple analogy of a game I used to play as a child!

Let me know in the comments if you have ever tried this practice and what your experience has been.
